Generating form models from XML Schemas

[Derek Hohls <DH...@csir.co.za>]

Has anyone made any attempt to do a mapping between
an XML Schema, and a CForms model representation of
the data... I assume it would need a stylesheet of some
kind, or is there any other way?

For example, the extract from this article
( http://www.xml.com/lpt/a/2000/11/29/schemas/part1.html )
suggest a mapping to a Java class:

"The xs:annotation elements can be added at the beginning 
of most schema constructions, as shown in the example 
below. The appinfo section demonstrates how custome 
namespaces and schemes might allow the binding of an 
element to a Java class from within the schema.

<xs:element name="book">
 <xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation xml:lang="en">
  Top level element.
</xs:documentation>
<xs:documentation xml:lang="fr">
  Element racine.
</xs:documentation>
<xs:appinfo source="http://example.com/foo/">
  <bind xmlns="http://example.com/bar/">
      <class name="Book"/>
   </bind>
  </xs:appinfo>
 </xs:annotation>
"

Ideas welcome.

Derek.
